Piloting a hot air balloon is not for the faint of heart. Although it's generally safe in the hands of an experienced pilot, accidents can happen. Watch how this crash earlier this summer brought traffic to a halt on a highway in the Netherlands.

 

The balloon went down July 23rd in a lake along a highway in the Dutch city of Almere. Eleven people were reported to be on board and all had to be plucked from the water. Two people were injured in the crash and taken to the hospital.
